By being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, we are competing to win.

Ayrton Senna

When a sport comes down to physical power, then it definitely needs to be split between men and women, but motor racing is a little bit like horse riding where we fight with the same tools. I believe that motor racing is a sport where women can take on men.

Susie Wolff

By being a racing driver you are under risk all the time. By being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, we are competing to win. And the main motivation to all of us is to compete for victory, it's not to come 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th. I race to win as long as I feel it's possible. Sometimes you get it wrong? Sure, it's impossible to get it right all the time. But I race designed to win, as long as I feel I'm doing it right.

Ayrton Senna

Since I started in motor racing I've worked with people from all over the world. We are all here to go racing and prejudice will never play any part in that.

Kimi Raikkonen

The racing driver needs to be fed a diet of other racing drivers.

Carroll Smith

Juan Fangio was the great man of racing, whilst Stirling Moss was the epitome of a racing driver.

Jackie Stewart

Pressure is always a part of a racing driver's life, but my father helped me a lot on my way to becoming a F1 driver.

Nico Rosberg

My whole life is about racing, and of course everybody wants to do the same with your son. Being a father and doing motor racing with him goes hand in hand.

Jos Verstappen

Many people talk about me entering the history books as the first female in 22 years and what a big moment it was. And I'm very flattered that I managed to do something historic, but in all honesty I was out there for me as a racing driver and to show everybody what Susie Wolff is capable of not to put my name in the history books.

Susie Wolff

I am a racing driver and I am not just some guy who has had an accident and gone back to racing because that is what he enjoys.

Billy Monger

A racing driver has to be a good driver.

Emerson Fittipaldi

Your emotional capacity is an empty motor, and your values are the fuel with which your mind fills it. If you choose a mix of contradictions, it will clog your motor, corrode your transmission and wreck you on your first attempt to move with a machine which you, the driver, have corrupted.

Ayn Rand

You might not think that's cricket, and it's not, it's motor racing.

Murray Walker

I feel comfortable around every driver out there and each driver is in charge of their own car, but you feel very secure racing the competition out there.
